Manage episode 498118523 series 3680288
What if the version of you that feels anxious, afraid, or overwhelmed... isn’t the real you?
In this episode, Dr. Abhimanyou Raathore — Clinical Psychologist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and founder of the Antifragilient Operating System — takes you beneath the surface of your everyday emotions into a deeper truth: the Self with a capital “S.”
This Self is not an ideal to become — it’s the awareness that has always been there. Untouched. Unbroken. Waiting.
Building on yesterday’s exploration of inner “parts,” Dr. Raathore shares why so many of us lose touch with our core — not because it’s gone, but because it’s eclipsed by pain we’ve survived. Like sunlight obscured by passing clouds, the Self is still burning bright behind every fear, every defense.
Through a short guided journey, you’ll be invited to reconnect with moments of pure presence: holding a beloved pet, sitting in safe silence with someone you love, or helping a lost child. These are not just nice thoughts — they are windows into your Self-energy, your innate essence beyond protection or pain.
Even if trauma has made it hard to believe in that kind of peace, this episode offers a quiet, radical reminder: Your inexhaustible source of love cannot be destroyed.
Come home to the part of you that was never lost.
